| Could O-Town be the next big thing? Jacob Underwood and Ashley Parker Angel from the hit show Making the Band answered your questions about their experiences on March 30, 2000. See what they had to say below! AOLiveMC12: Welcome, Jacob Underwood and Ashley Parker Angel! Ashley Parker Angel: What's up!?! Jacob Underwood: This is Jacob. Hi! AOLiveMC12: Here is our first question. Question: Do you and the rest of the members in your group get along a lot of the time, or do you sometimes fight like brothers always do? Ashley Parker Angel: We get along really well, like brothers, but there have been a couple of scuffles. Jacob Underwood: We have fought a little bit, but the majority of the time we are like brothers and we get along. Question: Were you nervous when you were auditioning? Jacob Underwood: A little bit, but after a while it just kind of wore off. Ashley Parker Angel: I was last in line, and there were about 160 people ahead of me, I guess, and so I had about 15 minutes to check out the competition, and then I decided I was just there to do my job, which was the best that I could do. Question: I was just wondering who your musical influences are, and why? -- Trista O-Town: Michael Jackson. Jacob Underwood: I think he's achieved every honor an artist can receive, so he's kind of like an icon in that way. Ashley Parker Angel: He totally revolutionized pop, and he's just the most incredible performer I've ever seen. Question: How do you like the fact that millions of people can watch you on TV as you go through the "boy band" process? Ashley Parker Angel: I love it, because you learn so much more about the whole process than like -- people stereotype about a lot of stuff, when it comes to boy bands in particular, and with us you're going to see us break through a lot of those stereotypes and really show our talent, so that people know how much hard work it takes. Jacob Underwood: I like it because I think the public needed to see what it takes to make a band work, and not just the glamour and success of it. Question: What truly inspired you to audition for O-Town? -- From Laura in Kentucky. Jacob Underwood: I always wanted the opportunity to sing and show my talents in front of someone in the music industry that could make a difference and honestly tell me if I had what it takes or not, and this was that opportunity. Ashley Parker Angel: I had always done -- like gotten leads and done really well auditioning locally, and I was really anxious [about] doing something on a much larger scale. And I knew this was a audition with a lot of major cities, and I wanted to see how much competition there really was and if my talents were what I always hoped they were. |
